1 | GIT v1.6.4.1 Release Notes |
2 | ========================== | |
3 | ||
4 | Fixes since v1.6.4 | |
5 | ------------------ | |
6 | ||
7 | * An unquoted value in the configuration file, when it contains more than | |
8 | one whitespaces in a row, got them replaced with a single space. | |
9 | ||
10 | * "git am" used to accept a single piece of e-mail per file (not a mbox) | |
11 | as its input, but multiple input format support in v1.6.4 broke it. | |
12 | Apparently many people have been depending on this feature. | |
13 | ||
14 | * The short help text for "git filter-branch" command was a single long | |
15 | line, wrapped by terminals, and was hard to read. | |
16 | ||
17 | * The "recursive" strategy of "git merge" segfaulted when a merge has | |
18 | more than one merge-bases, and merging of these merge-bases involves | |
19 | a rename/rename or a rename/add conflict. | |
20 | ||
21 | * "git pull --rebase" did not use the right fork point when the | |
22 | repository has already fetched from the upstream that rewinds the | |
23 | branch it is based on in an earlier fetch. | |
24 | ||
25 | * Explain the concept of fast-forward more fully in "git push" | |
26 | documentation, and hint to refer to it from an error message when the | |
27 | command refuses an update to protect the user. | |
28 | ||
29 | * The default value for pack.deltacachesize, used by "git repack", is now | |
30 | 256M, instead of unbounded. Otherwise a repack of a moderately sized | |
31 | repository would needlessly eat into swap. | |
32 | ||
33 | * Document how "git repack" (hence "git gc") interacts with a repository | |
34 | that borrows its objects from other repositories (e.g. ones created by | |
35 | "git clone -s"). | |
36 | ||
37 | * "git show" on an annotated tag lacked a delimiting blank line between | |
38 | the tag itself and the contents of the object it tags. | |
39 | ||
40 | * "git verify-pack -v" erroneously reported number of objects with too | |
41 | deep delta depths as "chain length 0" objects. | |
42 | ||
43 | * Long names of authors and committers outside US-ASCII were sometimes | |
44 | incorrectly shown in "gitweb". | |
45 | ||
46 | Other minor documentation updates are included. |
